Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided to address the country temporarily on Saturday night because of the need to effectively inform the decision to start booster doses and vaccinations for children without any unnecessary speculation . Haka.
Prime Minister Modi did not leave the matter to officials and the press release, but explained the categories that qualify for “caution” (because he chose to be a booster) and made the decision based on the current Covid situation in the country.
According to the source, the “preventive” dose needs to be determined in the context of research and investigations, which show that the country has a high level of “mixed immunity” due to vaccination, and sometimes pain. The infection in this case is usually asymptomatic, and as the zero survey has shown, there are antibodies even in unvaccinated children. Therefore, boosters may be better regarded as “preventive” doses for people in certain age categories or “at risk” jobs.
Although the results of the Covaxin and Zydus vaccines are encouraging, the government is cautious about starting to vaccinate children, believing that even some misleading bad reports can cause serious setbacks. In addition, government experts pointed out that the transmission of infections and antibodies among children is very rare.
The emergence of a more transferable variant of Omicron and concerns about the level of immunity of adults vaccinated in early 2021, as well as health workers and the frontline, led to a thorough review of the data and decisions announced by the Prime Minister.
In addition, the source said, in addition, it is also necessary to ensure that sufficient vaccines are provided for a large number of people who are eligible to receive booster injections and initial doses for children. The government’s current goal-to strengthen the full immunization of adults-remains relevant because it is the main protective measure against chronic diseases and deaths. Raising it from the current 61% to at least 85% is a top priority.
Overall, the Prime Minister’s speech was seen as reflecting the need for caution, but also reflecting the country’s confidence that it is ready to deal with the rising Omicron infection. According to sources, the feedback from the business community reflects their readiness to deal with the developing situation, rather than anticipating major chaos.
